Consider Establishing Procedure to Identify and Correct Ordinance Violations
Within the City.
Chairman Jacobson asked if there was some way that the Planning Commission
could come up with a reasonable way to deal with the many ordinance
violations in the city and then make the City Council aware of those
violations.
Commissioner Apel felt that if something is a violation of the ordinance
and is causing the discomfort of someone, the person who is objecting
should report it to the city.
Commissioner Bosell noted that several years ago, the Planning Commission
reported violations to the City Council but there was a great deal of
frustration because nothing happened.
Chairman Jacobson noted that he talked to the City Council about M.R.
Olson's used car lot and the Round Barn and was told that they both have
been notified that they are in violation of the ordinance.
Commissioner Rogers stated that one of the problems he sees is that
individuals find vacant lots and put used cars on them for sale.
It was suggested that at the end of each Planning Commission meeting any
violations noticed in the city be mentioned and the minutes reflect that
ordinance violations were discussed. The secretary can then make a list
of the violations and give that list to the City Clerk.

Time Period for Council Items
Chairman Jacobson stated that Ordinance lIB requires that an item acted
upon by the Planning Commission goes to the 2nd Council meeting after the
Planning Commission meeting. He noted that he spoke to the City Clerk
and she didn't have any problem with trying to get some items on the next
Council agenda rather than waiting the normal time period.
Commissioner Bosell suggested that the Planning Commission meet the same
week as the City Council. Another suggestion was to meet on Monday evenings
rather than Tuesdays.
It was noted that some items, such as variances, could go to the Council
the following week without being on a published agenda.
Chairman Jacobson asked the Commissioners to think about this and it will
be discussed at the next regular meeting.
Establish Subcommittee for 1986 Budget Proposals
Chairman Jacobson stated that one thing the COQIDission does not do well is
to plan ahead. He asked if there are other things the Commission can do
besides deal with variances, special use permits, etc.
Chairman Jacobson asked the two former chairmen if they would meet with him
to discuss this item. Commissioners Bosell and Spotts agreed.
Dave Almgren stated that he had a request from one of the farmers to do
something about housing for the migrant workers.
Chairman Jacobson stated that the Council will have to refer that item to
the Planning Commission to act on.
MOTION by Rogers, seconded by Apel to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 8:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
